Miles Davis – Kind Of Blue

Which pressing sounds better? This one or 2013 mono MOV???

This is fantastic sounding, ultra quite and dynamic, the bass tone in particular is great, this is the fifth version of KOB I've bought , the various other stereo versions I got just didn't sound great so even though I only usually only buy stereo records I decided to give this mono version a go, am so glad.

I just found a sealed copy of this pressing and snapped it up. Can't even look at the holy grail pressings right now, but these Customatrix masterings from the seventies are truly excellent. Soundstage is thrown wide and deep across the speakers, and there is a great sense of space around instruments. Not cut too hot, but there is no sense of compression or congestion, which provides a better dynamic drive as those horns are firing from the front, and from a distance. And for those who are having an allergic reaction to the bass on the MFSL release (which I also have) this pressing may provide a bit of relief. The bass of Paul Chambers is very present, deep, and well resolved, but never overbearing.

The pressing itself is not heavyweight vinyl but that's not a problem. There's a slight ripple on my copy but nothing substantial to interfere with the music. While the mastering is not too loud the vinyl is virtually silent, which is a bonus of course. A clean copy of this pressing is very easy to recommend for a full analog mastering in great sound.

My copy is a derivative of variant 1, with a 1EC suffix for side two.

Wonderful!

Word, word, word, word, word, word, word, word, word.

Anyone who prefers this to the UHQR needs a new set of ears lol. It’s not even close! This feels bloated and lacking transients by comparison.

My copy has a "6" in the bottom lower right corner on the back. All text and fonts are the same as in the photos for this version.

J'ai connu quelques versions de ce fabuleuse album, mais ici (Music On Vinyl – MOVLP961, Columbia – CL 1355), je dois dire que je suis fort surpris ! Il est tout simplement incroyable, et, dans sa version d'origine en mono si plus est, pas un bruit de surface et très dynamique, avec de nombreux détails, cette version n'est pas numérotée, mais peu importe, le son est bel est bien là !

As many do, I know this album inside and out, yet on this pressing I was hearing deeper into the music and pulling sounds out I didn’t know were there. A real treat. Putting it on is like opening a fine bottle of wine.

This is a seriously good sounding CD. Full of detail and as good as the 2015 Sony/Columbia/Legacy vinyl that I've also got.

Not impressed, considering its superb reputation.
All 2 disc were slightly of center, several clicks and pops even after wet cleaning. The MOV release of this album delivers the same soundstage, dynamics and detail with almost zero surface noise and on perfectly centered 33rpm Vinyl.
Don‘t believe the hype!
